Hey guys,

I need to have my car towed to a body shop for repairs, and its my understanding the S550 (US spec) does not have a factory tow hook mounting point.

How can I instruct the driver to safely pull my car onto the flat bed?

Thank you!

Not sure, but there was a thread here a while back where the tow truck driver ripped the holes in the frame tightening down the chassis after it was loaded.

When mine needed to go onto a truck, the driver used two holes in the frame just aft of the front axle to load it, then tied the car down using tire straps and not the frame.

This has my curious... now I’m wondering if my car got fucked up even more from the tow. This is how it looked being loaded up, any idea what he attached to?
